“We must and we can win in Afghanistan”

“We must never forget that the plot to kill Americans on 9/11 was hatched in the mountains of Afghanistan. As President, my decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan or Iraq would be based on military considerations and not on turns helping my personal political fortunes. We must and we can win in Afghanistan and we must provide General Allen the resources he needs to win. And we must return to the negotiation table with Iraq so that the peace is preserved there and to seek repayment for the heavy price we paid in liberating the Iraqi people from a brutal dictator.”
